Postal Ballots

The Election Commission has agreed to the demands presented by the INDIA bloc regarding the counting of postal ballots.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected a petition by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) challenging the recent circular from the Election Commission of India (ECI) that eased criteria for validating postal ballot.

Along with Form-12D, a certified copy of the authorization letter issued by the Commission will have to be attached and submitted to the Returning Officer of the concerned district.
